    Sultanas, hazelnuts or almonds, coconut flakes, cocoa powder. Put in food processor, grind nicely, mix in balls and roll on the coconut. Mmmmm! No refined sugar and plenty of nutrients in these raw choc balls.

    1/2 can chickpeas
    1/4-1/2 avocado
    salt
    pepper
    bread or pita

    Drain, rinse, and mash chickpeas with a fork.
    Mash avocado.
    Combine chickpeas and avocado.
    Add salt and pepper to taste.
    Serve on bread or in pita.

    Absolutely delicious, creamy chickpea salad sandwich. Very filling. One of my favorite lunches served with a salad or broccoli slaw.

    Suppose I should have read the requirement about chic peas or beans before posting. :) In which case I will add instead pinto beans in the crock pot with just a bit of olive oil, water, garlic, and onion. Sorry I haven't cooked with chic peas~ all my hummus comes from Sabra!

    1 can drained chickpeas
    Any seasoning - I use garlic salt and rosemary

    Put chickpeas in bowl w/ seasoning and toss to coat. Spread on greased cookie sheet and bake @ 450 degrees for 1 hour. A yummy, crunchy treat!

    Spicy Chickpea Chili
    (Not counting salt and pepper)
    1 Can Chickpeas
    1 lb 96% lean Ground beef
    1 Can diced tomatoes with juices
    Chili Powder 3-5 TBSP
    Cumin 1TBSP

    Brown ground beef add in seasonings and canned chickpeas/tomatoes... simmer for 20-30 minutes

    If you want to make it 6 or 7 items you can add in a couple of garlic cloves and an onion when you are browning your meat OR to keep it to 5 or 6.... leave out the meat! The chickpeas are hardy enough.
